In less than a minute, Wu Shaochen hadn't returned yet, but the upgrade aura appeared on him. It was clear that those guys had been poisoned to death. Wu Shaochen, who was just one step away from leveling up, directly reached level 15. He allocated the 10 attribute points he obtained to his constitution, becoming more focused on defense. He fought a few waves of ranged monsters, which made him prioritize defense completely. He wanted to become a sturdy assassin.
After assigning the attribute points, Wu Shaochen waited for the skills to cool down and then ran back again. He saw six mages standing there alone, looking wary. Wu Shaochen smirked, "Now you want to attack me, but you're afraid, right?"
Then he activated stealth and approached again. After getting closer, he quickly used his speed to poison two nearby mages from the previous wave. This time, these mages seemed to have learned their lesson and instantly realized they needed to create distance.
However, Wu Shaochen's speed was no joke. Could these few really escape from him? He followed closely, catching up and slashing. The remaining four mages were also soon poisoned, with only three fireballs hitting him in the process.
After poisoning them, Wu Shaochen turned around and ran. At this point, the mages quickly used their skills against him, but Wu Shaochen activated etherealness and evaded them. Then he left elegantly.
After waiting for a minute, Wu Shaochen returned once again. By this time, all the mages were already lying on the ground. He searched around and surprisingly found one piece of black iron equipment and five silver coins.
[Sapphire Necklace]- Black Iron Grade: Magic Attack +50, Magic Points +300, Cooldown Reduction +2%, Additional Attribute: Spirit +21, Requirement: Mage, Priest.
Not bad, that girl should like it. Wu Shaochen took a screenshot of the attributes and sent it to Su Muxue. As expected, he quickly received a reply.
Xue'er: "How much?"
"This girl is still so tsundere," Wu Shaochen mocked. He wanted to sell it to her at a cheaper price, but she had a strong sense of self-respect. To accommodate this tsundere girl, Wu Shaochen checked the auction prices for black iron equipment, which were mostly between 50,000 and 70,000. Since the one he had dropped from a level 20 monster would be relatively stronger, he thought for a moment and replied, "70,000."
This time Su Muxue didn't say anything, apparently considering the price reasonable too. The two quickly reached a deal. Just as they finished the transaction, Wu Shaochen heard another system notification.
"Ding! The item you listed in the pendant auction has been sold for 80,000 yuan. After deducting a handling fee of 12,000 yuan, the remaining 68,000 yuan has been transferred to your linked bank account."
"Oh, I almost forgot about the shield I listed. The price is quite good, but I only got a little over 60,000 after deducting the handling fee. It's indeed better to make a deal with the girl. No need to pay the fee, and she pays quickly," Wu Shaochen said.
It's already past 8 o'clock now, so Wu Shaochen decided to log out and have breakfast. Since there were no more monsters around him, he chose to log out right where he was.
Taking off his helmet, he instinctively took out his phone to check his balance, and was shocked to see that it had suddenly exceeded one million.
"What the heck, it's over a million?" Wu Shaochen couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at the 1.01 million balance in his bank account.
After counting on his fingers for a while, he realized that he had unknowingly earned his first one million in life. Wu Shaochen was ecstatic and paced around his room for four or five laps before calming down a bit.
"Should I buy a gaming warehouse?" Wu Shaochen wondered. However, looking at his current rented room, he probably wouldn't have enough space even for a gaming warehouse. Forget it, he would solve the housing problem first before buying anything.
He went out for breakfast, and when he returned home, he quickly logged back in. The key now was to complete the hidden quest at hand and, if possible, get the first kill on a Silver-ranked boss, which would bring him even more rewards.
After logging in, he appeared once again in Heifeng Village. Wu Shaochen wandered around the central area, thinking that there were no more monsters there. However, to his surprise, he encountered a big guy who was staring at him angrily. Wu Shaochen quickly used the Insight skill to check him out.
[Military Advisor of Heifeng Village]Bronze-ranked boss
Level: 20
Health: 350,000
Magic Attack: 900
Physical Defense: 400
Magic Defense: 480
Movement Speed: 95
Skill 1: Fireball: Launches a fireball that deals 120% magic damage to the designated target. Cooldown: 3 seconds.
Skill 2: Frostbolt: Launches an ice cone that deals 130% magic damage to the designated target and reduces the target's movement speed by 30% for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 10 seconds.
Skill 3: Explosive Flame: Releases a burst of flame at a designated location, causing 145% magic damage to all targets within a 3x3 area. Cooldown: 2 minutes.
Skill 4: Hailstorm: Releases hail at a designated location, causing 135% magic damage to all targets within a 5x5 area and reducing their movement speed by 30% for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute.
Wu Shaochen swallowed nervously. Four skills, and such high magic attack. He quickly ran away to get out of its aggro range. If he were to fight, he would have to activate stealth and approach before attacking.
Checking his own status, after leveling up, he gained 40 points in health and obtained 30 more points by killing 30 Immortal Bodies of the mages. His total health reached 3046 points, and his magic defense reached 236 points. His poison damage was at 426 points, and after leveling up, he gained an additional 6 points by killing 6 more mages.
"Chapter 37: The Military Advisor of Heifeng Village."
Translation: "Can fight!" Wu Shaochen calculated for a while and said, "If I resist a round of all four skills, I definitely won't be able to hold on. But besides Fireball and Frost Nova, which are instant cast skills, the other two skills definitely have casting time.
If I activate Stealth and then activate Extreme Speed to get to him, I can apply 2 layers of poison in one second, and then spend two seconds to escape. At most, I only need to endure three skills.
After figuring it out, Wu Shaochen activated Stealth and returned to where he was just now. At this moment, the military advisor of Heifeng Village was still there.
Wu Shaochen quietly approached, got close, and activated Extreme Speed to attack twice, and then turned and ran.
"Ah, you little thief, you're dead!" the military advisor shouted.
Then an Ice Nova hit Wu Shaochen, reducing his speed by 30%, followed by a Fireball that hit him again. Then, he unleashed the third skill, Explosive Flame, but because it had a casting time of 0.5 seconds, by the time it was released, Wu Shaochen had already run out of attack range. The Explosive Flame exploded behind Wu Shaochen and didn't hit him.
After running out, Wu Shaochen looked at his remaining health, which was still more than half, and smiled slightly. The difficulty was not great.
Calculating the time, when it was almost one minute, Wu Shaochen went over again to apply 2 layers of poison. This time, because he didn't have Extreme Speed, he endured three skills, but he still managed to escape without any danger.
In this way, it took less than 7 minutes to go back and forth, and the body of the military advisor of Heifeng Village finally fell.
"Ding, congratulations on killing the Bronze-level boss [Heifeng Village Military Advisor], gaining 200 reputation, and earning 28,800 experience points. Your pet, Silver Wolf, gained 7,200 experience points."
"Ding, Talent Triggered: Poison damage +1, current poison damage is 427 points."
"Ding, Immortal Body in effect, maximum health increased by 1 point, current Immortal Body increased maximum health by 576 points."
Looking at the experience points: lv15, 37,406/70,000.
Sigh, the experience points are already over half, but there's nothing I can do. Boss experience is really high. Looking at the ground, a smile appeared on Wu Shaochen's face. "But, there really are a lot of good drops."
Hastily ran over and picked up everything that dropped on the ground. A total of 4 gold and 32 silver, 2 bronze equipment, 3 black iron equipment, didn't pick up any white equipment, and besides that, there was also a scroll and a fruit."
